Both my cars, previous new and this one new, I swapped out the wheels/tyres to 18" with Scorpions. This one has Scorpions on Evoque 18" wheels, the wear is always good and even with no tread whining when they wear, excellent in the wet and dry and road noise is average at 72db I believe. No difference in ride comfort from 17" to 18" but an improvement in sticking to the line in corners

Great - thanks
Wanted to see how they filled the arches

Anyone know are there any likely problems with the Haldex, speedo etc as it changes the geometry? No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

It's changed nothing, its a recommended size for the FL2 as the sidewall height of the tyre is reduced to compensate for the larger wheel size. Also the Evoque wheel offset is the same as the FL2, so no geometry change. The rolling radius remains the same and it fills the arches no more than a 17".

That's very helpful - thanks for your input  No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

I have same wheels and tyres on mine. Very pleased so far but not gone through winter yet.

Just to share our experience of these, we fitted Scorpion Verde (19 inch) in Oct 2013 and have now done 48000 KM's on them. Performance, grip & road holding in wet, dry, loose snow and packed snow/ice conditions through both of the last 2 summers (recent holiday they saw +42 deg C in Croatia) & winters (lowest temp experienced was -28 deg C) has always been excellent.

Very happy with them and will be replacing them with exactly the same again before winter hits us in CH!
